ABOUT
Having cats and rabbits myself, I know and understand the difficulty of arranging pet care for a planned holiday or an unexpected night away. After a poor experience with a local pet sitter who focussed more on dog walking rather than cat care (though advertised both!), I quickly realised how important it was for families in the same situation as us to find someone who focused on these smaller animals rather than the big ones! With my love for cats & small animals, and the commitment to ensure they receive the best care possible whilst their owners are away, I decided to set up ‘Karen’s Cat Care’.
‘Karen’s Cat Care’ is run solely by me, Karen Labbett, with support from my daughter, Leah. I’ve had cats and small animals in my life since childhood, and Leah, who has accompanied me on visits since the very beginning, shares the same natural affinity with cats. Together, we provide a personal and reliable service built on genuine care. For your peace of mind, I offer testimonials, small business insurance, and up‑to‑date DBS/CRB checks.
ABOUT KAREN
After taking a career break as an IT manager to start a family, Karen setup her first business – a special occasion cake company in 2008. An ideal home business fitting around the needs of a young family. After some encouragement from a close family friend, and with her love of cats, Karen started Karen’s Cat Care in 2014. Karen decided to close her cake company in 2016 so she could fully concentrate on providing local cat care and offering advice looking after new and existing cats. The success of the business comes from a love for cats and the provision of a high quality, bespoke, customer-focused service.
